Kerspartytjie vir Kinders – Saldanhabaai

Die organisasie Communities without Borders NPC, Weskus Cochoqua stam in vennootskap met Saldanhabaai Tigers RFC kondig met trots ’n Kerspartytjie vir Kinders aan wat daarop gemik is om die kinders van Saldanhabaai gedurende die feestyd te vier, te bemoedig en op te hef.

Die geleentheid vind plaas op Saterdag, 20 Desember 2025, by die Diazville Sportgrond, vanaf 15:00 tot 18:00. Kinders kan uitsien na ’n dag propvol pret met waterglybane, springkastele, lewendige DJ-vermaak, asook kos en verversings.

As deel van hierdie inisiatief sal 500 Kersgeskenke aan kinders uitgedeel word. Ouers en voogde word vriendelik aangemoedig om hul kinders tussen die ouderdomme van 6 en 14 jaar te bring om saam met ons ’n veilige en vreugdevolle dag te geniet. Ouers en voogde is welkom om die hele dag teenwoordig te wees en toesig te hou.

Weens die waterglybane word ouers en voogde vriendelik versoek om handdoeke en swemklere vir die kinders saam te bring.

Hierdie gemeenskapsinisiatief word georganiseer deur Paramount Chief Carmen Rodgers en haar span van die Weskus Cochoqua Stam, wat ook die Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte en Stigter van Communities without Borders NPC is, saam met haar toegewyde span. Die geleentheid weerspieël ’n voortgesette verbintenis tot jeugontwikkeling, gemeenskapseenheid en die skep van positiewe herinneringe vir ons toekomstige leiers. Die Voorsitter van Saldanha Tigers RVK Heinrich Koopman verwelkom die inisiatief omdat die groter visie van die klub is om hoop te skep vir die Gemeenskap van Saldanhabaai, Diazville.

’n Spesiale hoogtepunt van die dag sal die teenwoordigheid van Kersvader, vertolk deur MP Saintes Van Wyk en sy span, wees wat saam met ons sal feesvier en feestelike vreugde onder die kinders sal versprei.

Ons wil graag ons opregte dank en waardering uitspreek aan ons wonderlike borge en skenkers wat hierdie geleentheid moontlik gemaak het:
Langebaan SPAR, Adelaide Ruiters van ARME, en die Hopefield Local Wind Farm Community Company. Julle ondersteuning maak ’n werklike en blywende verskil in ons gemeenskap.

Toegang tot die geleentheid is heeltemal gratis, sodat alle gesinne in die gemeenskap saam die gees van Kersfees kan vier.
